The accusations

She wrote: "So someone I work with has been saying they’re pregnant (in my line of work this means your placed straight on light duties).

"There was some confusion initially about dating and her saying she had a miscarriage, then didn’t, that was all a bit suspicious but no one said anything.

"She stated last week she went for her 12 week scan and there was no baby to be found and she was to come back the next day for another scan.

"I messaged her on Facebook following the scan to ask how it went and she said great and sent me a picture of the 'scan'.

"The scan had been pushed up to the top but had a date on of 2015.

"She has other children and I was a bit suspicious, so I checked her previous Facebook photos and found it was the exact scan of her previous child.

"I'm actually higher up than her in rank in our job and as she’s still asking for time off for appointments and amended duties, I feel as though I should go to the manager with this, but at the same time, it’s really none of my business.

"It will all come out eventually regardless but I see my other colleagues picking up the slack and feel quite bad that it’s all potentially made up?

"Would you go to the manager or just leave it? This girl has quite a rep for lying about things... "

'The truth will come out in the end'

She's been inundated with replies from other parents offering advice on what to do.

Most have said she should just leave it, and the truth will come out in the end.

One woman wrote: "From what you've written, you don't know for certain she is faking it therefore I would step back and say nothing. If your suspicions are true it will come out later, but at this stage its not for you to interfere even if suspicious. Your management should have a policy in place to prove pregnancy if a change of duties are required so early."
